Three Cups of Tea

How was your weekend ? I wish I could say mine was as tranquil as above.

The weekend was gorgeous after a long line of cold, snowy and rainy weekends. So I went to the park with a book and tea, thinking I could plonk LS in a swing, let BS fend for herself and sit down and read this wonderful book under the shiny blue sky.

I didn't realize that everyone else in the state(?) had the exact same brilliant plan.

The park was spilling over with kids of all ages and sizes, Moms & Dads of all ages and sizes, Grandparents of all ages...ok you get the drift. So though I could drink my cups of tea, I couldn't read a single page of the book.

So I am still going on at the pace of reading only a couple of pages at night every day though I am itching to know how Greg Mortenson managed to open all 50 schools in Baltistan

My weekend too had some shopping for my younger one's 4th b'day and a book reading. I could just finish 3 chapters of it. Even though u couldn't read with the tea and the blue sky it seems to be perfect.

hahahahahaha, poor you!!! but at least I'm sure that you'd have enjoyed the beautiful blue sky and the lovely sunshine :) and the TEA...

that's what happens here too, as soon as people see some extra rays of sunshine, all of them out, walking, cycling and enjoying the bright day.... we had a nice weekend , cosy , closed at home, as it was raining and cloudy from friday to sunday... spent the weekend eating, watching movies, chatting and snacking, hahaah

Sandeepa,Reading your post brought back memories of the past...lolling about on a 'Shotoronchi' in the tepid winter sun and poring over an intriguing book...miss those winter vacation days!The sun did not shine on us that much this weekend which gave me ample opportunity to potter about in the kitchen:)Tried out your 'Chaal Kopi' recipe and have put it up in a post...do drop in sometime!:)

Here, from last week we are in 70's, the park is always over crowded and only Asians rules! U don't even find a place to sit down, swing -kids has to wait turn :(... Park is not the best place in my area! Unimaginable reading with tea in my park!

I have stopped borrowing books from the library since 2 weeks...I never manage to read more than a few pages now that baby A threatens to climb wherever she can. Maybe I should borrow your idea and take her to a park!

LOL! Don't even get me started on the weekend weather here :-) After bragging so much about the spring weather here, the temperature plummeted Saturday morning and it snowed Sunday morning. Bah! Sorry, it did not work for you either, but hope you have awesome week!

You will like the book - i read it for my book club... Few days ago, we got lucky about the reading under blue skies, the location was a lake not park... we took a wrong turn and reached a secluded part of the lake where there was NO ONE... but nice picnic benches and all... wish i had the tea though...
